Duke of Benavente (Spanish: Duque de Benavente) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1473 by Henry IV to Rodrigo Alonso Pimentel, 4th Count of Benavente.[2][3]

Since the Countship of Benavente was not revoked after the concession of the dukedom, the holders of the distinction are technically Count-Dukes of Benavente, similar to the Count-Dukes of Olivares.
